    Are you using photobucket, flickr, etc?

    On the icon, you don't need the HTML code, just the url address. Also make sure the photo is sized pretty small or just a small piece will appear.

    Could be a size issue. The profile pic and your icon need to be resized according to what the forum software needs. I think the icon is 30x30 pixels and the profile pic is 200xsomething IIRC.

    Facebook and myspace blocks that type of linking due to security.

    I would attach it to a post [try it in this post], use the attach option at the bottom of the post field... once posted/attached you will see the image in the post, you can right click on the image and get the URL - use that URL for your profile pic.

    Example:

    the URL for that image I just posted is: http://www.nihonken.org/forum/?PostBackAction=Download&AttachmentID=906

    so I could use that in my profile... but as Dave just pointed out the images are re-sized and cropped to the correct size.

    Another option is just post the image you want and I can do it for you - I have done this for a few members.

    ok - here they are. Use these URLs for your account settings:

    ICON: http://www.nihonken.org/forum/?PostBackAction=Download&AttachmentID=908

    PIC: http://www.nihonken.org/forum/?PostBackAction=Download&AttachmentID=909
